It is located off of River Rd., west of Gervais. There are no signs telling you where it's located. I actually stopped at a house and asked them where it was! The gate is locked, so you have to walk back behind the hop fields quite a ways.. and the cemetery is back there surrounded by trees. It's such a beautiful cemetery to visit. I wanted to cry, when I got to it though, for what terrible condition it's in. So many of the stones are broken and unreadable.. and there is so much debris from the plants and trees surrounding it all. But while I was back there in the middle of the beautiful trees with such old stones, it was so quite and peaceful. Stones that are broken or unreadable are marked as "??" so that every stone will be accounted for. "s/w" means "seen with" and indicates which people are listed on the same stone. ??, (stone broken) ??, (stone broken) ??, (stone broken) ??, (this is a large stone, tipped over, with names on bottom, pictured above) ??, no name, no dates, "Baby" Allison, no given name, no dates Allison, no given name, no dates Brown, Andrew A., b. 1904, d. 1985 Byrd, L.
